    MUTANTOR! Dice engine for critique

    The mutation mechanic seams a bit complex and clunky. It would take along time to get used to. I like your idea of the dice increasing in value from d6 to d8 and above. Having some sample target difficulties would help. Also how will skills interact with the dice and target numbers. And do...

    Can you help me find an old article?

    Not sure if this is the right article but it does deal with ability scores and real life.

    Nah Dragons are magic :) I would have conniptions if i had to work out wing loading or drag co-efficiency

    Dragons using martial weapons over natural?

    Its up to how you design your dragon. If your dragon is going to be bipedal instead of a quadruped then it is feasible that your dragon could use a weapon instead of claws. But again it would depend on how large your going to make your dragon. The reason i mention this is for the square-cube...

    Going Retro

    I wont get into the Thac0 debate as it has been done to death in other forums. If WoTC was to reprint 1st edition Ad&d core books i would buy them. No need to create a retro clone when you have the original.

    Choose the Illusion: Dungeon Mastering

    I know i am going to get flamed for any comments i make, but i like reading the hate. To me all you are creating is a railroad story with a few side rails just in case. A GM can create a base outline of what he might want to create but players are a random chaos factor that are going to...

    The Walking Dead

    This was the first game session and i have already posted that i was wrong in my assumptions of what the game was going to be like. I talked with the GM after the game and again this week. So i dont know what all the fuss is about and why you keep reading into my post information that isnt...

    The Walking Dead

    Hindsight: recognition of the realities, possibilities, or requirements of a situation, event, decision etc., after its occurrence. Airports also have fuel, vehicles, food, clothing, its like a huge mall. And since we came from there and there was no zombies when we left i thought it would be...

    The Walking Dead

    So your saying that if i was in your group i would have to play my character how you and the group wanted me to or i would get kicked? Sorry i believe in free and creative expression when it comes to roleplaying not toe the line or get out.

    RPG books you returned...

    My copy of Ad&d Oriental Adventures had a few pages not cut correctly and about 2 weeks latter i had pages falling out but since i was young and i had traveled from the country 200km to Melbourne to buy the book i couldn't just send it back so i kept it and i still have it today. LOL i got a...

    Your ideal D&D movie/TV show?

    I would like to see the old modules put into a tv show. How cool would it be to see Keep on the Borderlands or Horror on the Hill. It would probably take a up to 6 episodes per module. But then it gives them about 10 seasons worth of material. I think if the current people who are doing Game...

    The Walking Dead

    I will be talking to the GM this Saturday. I really dont want to miss out on his game. He is the type of GM that loves the crunch and background. He has probably written half a novel on different places and what the players can achieve. When he first said its zombies my head went straight...

    The Walking Dead

    Last weekend my group and 1 finished off doing d6 Star Wars. We ran through all the first edition modules and had a blast. At the end of the game my friend said he was starting a zombie game based on The walking Dead comic and tv series. I have never seen or read this so i just assumed it was...

    Your favourite botches

    I have had some really good fails in d6 star wars. My character tried to swing on a rope onto the top of an AT-ST walker just like Chewie in ROTJ. I rolled my climb/jump for the swing. Rolled down and failed. So instead of landing on the top of the AT-ST i misjudged and swung out in front...

    What's the wildest D&D story you've ever heard?

    At a convention i overheard someone bragging about his uber warrior with his +10 vorpal sword of sharpness and disintegration. I forget how often i heard tales of a dragonlance campaign were some one got their grubby hands on the stone of fistandantalis. The worst i ever heard and i lothe to...

    My DM just told me he fudges rolls....

    As a DM i fudge dice rolls all the time. 99% is for the benefit of the players. There is nothing less heroic than entering the first room and having a party wipe from a few bad rolls on the players part. And there is also nothing less heroic than to have the final climatic battle end in one...
